War Quotes
-

We have to remind ourselves of this at every moment: that we are in a war, a cold war as they call it; a war where there is no front line, no continuous bombardment, but where the two adversaries - this tiny champion of the Caribbean and the immense imperialist hyena - are face to face and aware that one of them is going to end up dead in the fight.

This is a planetary war, of the worst and cruelest kind, waged against humanity.
Subcomandante Marcos
